Redmi Note 7 Pro has also been leaked with the same 6.3-inch screen size and dimensions. Redmi Note 7’s 6.3-inch display has Full HD+ resolution and aspect ratio of 19:9.

Camera

Camera will be the highlight of the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Xiaomi has already confirmed a 48-megapixel camera with Sony IMX586 sensor on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Its predecessor also comes with the same camera but backed by Samsung image sensor. Rest of the camera specifications are expected to be the same.

Performance would be another major upgrade between the two Redmi phones. Redmi Note 7 Pro will most likely run on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor. In comparison, Redmi Note 7 is powered by the older Snapdragon 660 chipset.

The same 4,000mAh battery is expected on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. However, the smartphone was spotted on TENAA with a 3,900mAh battery. Redmi Note 7 Pro offers up to 6GB of RAM. With the Note 7 Pro, Xiaomi could offer an 8GB RAM variant.
